I always watch sadly
Those giving their vote
To people who'd gladly
Cut open their throat.

They follow their hate,
They don't spot the lies.
Rich man owns the state,
Rich man's gaining weight,
The poor one just dies.

Edit: changed a line

I had a pattern like that in my head when I wrote it and I'm glad to read that it came across that way.

Though I messed up in the "hear" stanza. I like to pretend it symbolises the reality catching up and leaving no room for relaxation. But I really just couldn't think of a rhyme for "chirp" 😂

I get it, it really sounds amazing to feel free to do that and not worried for once.
Unfortunately I'm very much not a dog person, especially not a big dog person.

Yes! That's what made me write the poem. It's so unfair. Sometimes I get really angry about it and sometimes just sad.
